    Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference that is evident from birth and impacts individuals throughout their lifetime. Autistic individuals develop differently than typically developing brains, resulting in differences in language, communication, cognition, sensory processing, motor control, and social behaviours.

    To assess an individual for Autism, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted using assessment tools such as ADOS and MIGDAS. The presentation of Autism varies from person to person, and autistic individuals have different ways of social interaction, communication, and perception of the environment, including sensory information, change, and objects.

    Our neurodiversity-affirming Autism assessments consist of an interview-type session talking about your possible Autistic traits using the MIGDAS-2 interview tool.

    We will ask you about Autistic traits in adulthood and childhood and ask you to complete other questionnaires about possible Autistic experiences and traits if necessary. If you're around 21 years of age or under, we will ask you to have contact with a parent, carer, or another adult who knew you during childhood.

    This package includes:

    • Three or Four Hours of Assessment Appointments using the MIGDAS-2

    • Feedback Session (1 Hour)

    A comprehensive written report is provided. Please note that there is a two-to-four-week turnaround for report writing.

    Please note that this assessment does not include an assessment of ADHD. If screening of these symptoms is requested, additional costs will be incurred.
